The U.S. Military Academy officially unveiled the Buffalo Soldier Monument Sept. 10 at West Point with approximately 600 guests in attendance. The sculpture represents the Soldiers of the 9th and 10th Cavalry Regiments who embodied the Armyʼs values during their service to the Corps of Cadets between 1907-47. Gifted to the academy by the Buffalo Soldiers Association of West Point, the 10-foot-tall bronze trooper mounted on horseback at Buffalo Soldier Field now epitomizes their enduring legacy and serves as a reminder, to all, of their commitment and dedication to the Army mission.
